Confession, I am guilty of a horrendous crime. It is deeply shallow, completely discriminatory, and has left me single for far too long.
I hang my head in shame as I confess… the crime is swiping left on short kings.
These mighty men of short girth usually stand at around 5'7 (give or take) and are ignored by the masses. Seriously, ask any woman what their deal breakers are when it comes to dating, and the answer (after a few wines) would be men under 6ft tall.
Now if you were to go looking for a short man in the wild (aka any bar, pub or sporting event in town) they are actually easy to find.
They are that short, hilarious guy who has the confidence and strength of character to flourish in the face of conventional beauty standards. It's like you shouldn't be attracted to them… and yet you are!

Huh?????
She knows she’s dumb, so she dyed her hair blond to warn the rest of us.
I am short and for many guys it can be a problem.
Like any problem it can also be overcome with a few “life hacks”.
The manosphere teaches those things, so no need to go there in too much detail.
One silly (but effective) trick is to have a “wing man” who is tall—and ugly. The women will of course look at the tall guy first—and then look away....at you.
;-)
I love a taller women. Wife is an inch taller than me. It makes me feel like one of those nerds who made millions on the internet and got a tall model girlfriend. Full disclosure I am not a millionaire, internet or otherwise.
A man’s height makes an overweight woman stand out less.
Bars and the internet are not the place to meet marriagable women, at least in my experience.
Met a good one surf fishing on a Sunday morn. We both admitted that our at Church attendance suffered during those seasons when certain marine species were migrating.
“Jana Hocking”?
Isn’t there some product named Hocking Ware?
I’m 5’8” and I’ll admit to letting a couple of good guys get away because they were shorter than me. I like men of medium height. Mr.GG2 is 5’10”. I think shorter men do tend to get overlooked.
“Let a woman in you life and your serenity is through!
In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends to jabber and to chatter and to tell her what the matter is with you!’’- Professor Henry Higgins, “My Fair Lady’’.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic, but speaking as a woman, I have NEVER understood this obsession most women have for height! As long as he’s tall enough to climb the stairs unassisted, and short enough not to get clobbered by the average ceiling fan, then what’s it matter?
Can somebody explain that to me logically?
It's because of evolution. Women look for the biggest, most protective mate.
Seems like a solid frame and low center of gravity would be better advantages to look for if that was the case?
Alan Jay Lerner was a brilliant lyricist.
Indeed. No way to know whether she or the DM writer said that.
I’m just a tad over 5’1’ and absolutely do not want a man over 6’. If we went dancing, I’d be staring at his belly button, which does NOT inspire romance or even enjoyable dancing.
Veto!

Jana Hocking is an Australian media personality that’s mostly famous for bragging about how many men she’s slept with. I suspect the reason she’s single is because she’s a well known pincushion, not because she refuses to date short guys.
Before I shrunk in old age, I was just about six feet. My wife was 5’ 8”. We made a son 6’ 4”.
My father was 5’ 7” and mother barely 5 feet. My inlaws were about the same.
You have to wonder how you get such a big jump in just two generations.
Indeed he was. Henry Higgins is my hero.
And no one played him better than Rex Harrison.
So she is stupid in more ways than one.
